it's the last day of the year today and the Christmas holidays have been lovely so far...mild illness has hit our house, but nothing bad enough to stop fun being had...

it's been absolutely wonderful not knowing what day of the week it is and eating anything that comes out of a square tin...

crafting has been stiring here with major room swaps planned for January - this had meant i have been speeding on with Miss T's granny a day blanket...photos to follow

we stay in on New Years Eve and have our AGM...think i may have blogged about this before...but we sit down with a notebook and talk about the good and bad things of the year gone and what we are most looking forward to in the coming year...we love it...and most people we tell think we are bonkers or a bit 'sad'...but this comes about after having a really pants year in 2007 and sitting and chatting about it on New Years Eve - we had 1 year old twins then and a 4 year old, and with no family near we didn't feel we could ask anyone to babysit...so...the AGM was born and i ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT...

lots and lots of memories...we had a great few days away...i could put hundreds of pictures of gorgeous rich tiles on here...but decided to put some of the other things on instead!!! it really was a beautiful place...

and now onto Christmas...i've been busy as usual recently, with kiddies, school, clubs and the odd bit of crafting too...to be honest, i don't feel as organised as i usually do a week before Christmas, i haven't written a single card this year!...this time last year we were in Australia, and decided not to write any...it was actually quite nice not to...and i don't know whether to write any or not now...what do you think???

2 posts in 2 days...WHAT IS GOING ON...well...it's simply a case of needing to get these photos down before i forget to do it (i consider myself to be a very organised person...but i am also very forgetful - is that possible?)...

here goes...

phew...i can tick that one off my list now...these pics taken on my travels and are from Norwich, Melbourne, Tasmania, Sheffield and also Seville...i do like a spot of street art here and there and quite like this little collection of fine samples...

today i have been getting sorted out for a craft fair this weekend...to be honest i haven't really done a great deal of crafting recently...not sure why this is...but as i have 3 fairs coming up i really need to get my bottom into gear really...

i like doing craft fairs but i wish i had the ability to be in 2 places at the same time - i love my family weekend time and usually spend craft fairs wondering what the little people are up to and half wishing i was there with them...is that bad????

About Me

i am a stay at home mum with 3 rather gorgeous children - Zak is 8 and twins Reuben and Tallulah are 5...we live in a very nice, not too big, not too small (and slightly wonky) victorian house in Norfolk...we have been 'doing up' the house for 8 years now...i love it, i really do, i like to change bits and bobs to suit my mood (frequently) and i don't ever think it will be a 'finished project'...but hey, when it comes to interiors, thats just not my style!
